Helen's. --Mount Hood. --Cowlitz Valley and its Floods. --Monticello. SAN FRANCISCO, February 20, 1867. We are here at last, contrary to all our expectations for the last tendays. We left Puget Sound at short notice, taking passage on the firstlumber-vessel that was available, with many misgivings, as she was adilapidated-looking craft. We went on board at Port Madison, aboutdusk, --a dreary time to start on a sea-voyage, but we had to accommodateourselves to the tide. The cabin was such a ...forlorn-looking place, thatI was half tempted to give it up at the last; when I saw, sitting besidethe rusty, empty stove, a small gray-and-white cat, purring, and rubbingher paws in the most cheery manner. The contrast between the great, cold, tossing ocean, and that little comfortable creature, making thebest of her circumstances, so impressed me, that I felt ashamed toshrink from the voyage, if she was willing to undertake it. So Iunpacked my bundles, and settled down for a rough time.
